Summary:

The Census Bureau has created a special subset file from
the 1980 Census of Population and Housing data designed to meet the
needs of Equal Employment Opportunity and affirmative action
planning. It contains detailed 1980 Census data dealing with
occupation and educational attainment for the civilian labor force,
various race groups, and the Hispanic population. The collection
contains two tabulations of the United States civilian labor force:
one offering detailed occupation data and the other, data on years of
school completed. The occupation tabulation includes information for
514 occupation categories organized by sex and race (including
Hispanic origin). The second tabulation, years of school completed, is
organized by age, sex, and race (including Hispanic origin). This
collection contains 51 separate files, one for each state and the
District of Columbia. Each state file contains statistics for the
state, each county, standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA), and
place with a population of 50,000 or more within that state. If an
SMSA crosses state lines, each state file containing a part of the
SMSA will have totals for the entire SMSA. The 51 files in the
collection include a total of 48,168 data records. Each of the data
records contains 1,098 "substantive" variables, as well as
geographic identifiers. A CENSPAC-compatible database dictionary,
Part 90, is also included with this collection.
